Proud Tradition, Cherished History

The Doisy College of Health Sciences was founded in 1929 and later endowed by Margaret
Doisy, the widow of Dr. Edward Doisy. Edward Doisy served for more than 40 years on
the SLU faculty and in 1943 received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for
his discovery of vitamin K.
